Football is a sport that I just started playing in Year 7, when I had no idea how to communicate with my teammates properly in a game and defend and play. As this year has commenced and the open morning football club has started, I have been able to practice more and gain confidence. I got into the U13 football team this year.

I play netball outside and inside of school, netball its a sport I put my heart and soul into and I have cherished every single moment of being team in year 6 and 7. Recently, we had the u14 (yr 8+9) netball trials for an A team, B team and C team. I got into the A team and the upcoming season will start in term 2.

From the past years, playing team sports has shaped part of who I am as it teaches us how to be a team player, a captain and a resilient and hardworking person.

This year, they have arranged a lot of morning clubs such as Football, Basketball, Netball, Cricket and Cross Country.

I’m attending most of these, including Football, Basketball, Netball and Cross Country.

I love attending morning clubs because it’s a fresh start to the morning and I’m able to enjoy the sports I love. I usually find myself very energetic and optimistic on the days I play sports. Morning clubs allow us to do more “practice” time and they also help us include some sort of physical activity throughout the day.

One of my favourite subjects is math because it is a subject that requires problem solving, that is useful for the future. I believe that math is a fundamental component in life as it is used in our day-to-day life.

In math, we are being taught various interesting topics and as the year progresses, we are being challenged even more.

# data[].attributes.body
Another one of my favourite subjects is PE because it’s a very broad and varied subject, which means that we are taught many sports, skills and techniques. I personally enjoy sports and I play quite a few too (basketball, netball and football) so I find it really fun when we play it in PE.

In PE, we enhance our skills and knowledge, which also helps us play sports outside-of-class such as morning clubs, squads, classes outside of school, etc.

This term, our term 1 assessment consisted of only chemistry and biology, and we had started physics after the assessment. The topics included:

Current grade: S+ (Secure +)

Working towards: M

I really like languages because in school, it’s an opportunity to learn new languages and even apply it in the “real world” later on. I believe that learning languages is an important skill to work on.

I do dual French and Spanish, which means that exams for languages can be quite out-of-order as they are scheduled around the same times, and we have double the pressure of a student doing a single subject. Despite this, I enjoy learning 2 languages as it allows us to explore more.

I’ve also got selected for round 2 of spelling bee for Year 7+8. I’m excited for this year as the words are going to be harder than last year. Last year, I got into the final round (round 4) and went to WSO to compete, it was an awesome experience.

In English this term, we learnt about Greek myths and creative writing. We had two assessments, a summative and a formative. The summative wasn’t graded but the formative was based on recreating a myth about the “sirens”. My grade for the assessment was M (mastery).

In History for Y8 Term 1, we have been covering various topics such as:

👉 The Mughal Empire

👉 The Mongol Empire

👉 The Ottoman Empire

👉 The Sepoy Rebellion

👉 The British Raj

I personally enjoy history because it’s a very interesting subject, and there’s a lot to explore. We have 2 progress checks so far which have helped the teacher know about our understanding of the topic and certain “skills” used.

First progress check (2 PEEL paragraphs) - 10/10

Second progress check (Inference) - 4/4

My class didn’t have our assessment but out grades for term 1 were based on everything + the fact that it’s first term so we are given a grade “we have to work towards”.

Current grade: S+

Target: M

In Term 1, we have been learning about 2 topics including “Ecosystems” and “Africa”. We learnt about various topics within it such as geographical location, adaptations and biomes. For the topic of Africa, we learnt about misconceptions in Africa, development indicators and the geography of Africa. We had 2 assessments throughout the whole term and the first one helped define our grade.

Ecosystems: 9/11

Africa (Mid-topic assessment): 22/22

My current grade is S+ and I am working towards an M.
